Sleep, Mama, sleep Our cottage vale is deep The little lamb is on the green With snowy fleece so soft and clean Sleep, Mama, sleep
Sleep, Papa, sleep I would not, would not weep The little lamb he never cries And bright and happy are his eyes Sleep, Papa, sleep.
Sleep, Mama, sleep, Near where the woodbines creep; Be always like the lamb so meek, Kind and gentle, oh so sweet Sleep, Mama, sleep
Sleep, Papa, sleep, Thy rest shall angels keep. While on the grass the lamb shall feed And never suffer want nor need Sleep, Papa, sleep Sleep, Mama, sleep
Background Information
